Saiyuki Reload

If you watched Saiyuki and liked it, you will definitely watch the Reload and gunlock sequels. However you will be surprised (as I was) that the sequels are all filler episodes. In Saiyuki, they showed some parts in the character's past lives so one would think it would have some relation to the overall plot of the sequels, which shockingly it did not. The characters look better in the sequels than in saiyuki (especially gojo, his hair actually becomes red and not purple this time) so that was a plus, if not the only one.
And the whole one-pattern personalities and lines get old after a couple hundred episodes, and I was just left wondering why oh why did I waste my time watching 60something episodes of plotless intermission to which there is no sequel. So, if you want to just watch some more of the characters of saiyuki getting together then this is the series to watch, because there is no story really, its just a veeery long series of filler episodes. read more

I'm surprised no one has wrote a review on Saiyuki Reload or Saiyuki Reload Gunlock, I guess I am the only one who likes this anime......hahaha
Anyway Saiyuki Reload is an anime based on a monk named Genjo Sanzo and three demons named Son Goku, Cho Hakkai and Sha Gojyo, going on a journey towards the west. Their weapons are actually pretty cool since Sanzo has a Revolver, Goku with his Joystick, Sha Gojyo with his Chain Sickle,and Cho Hakkai who is able to create Energy Balls and can even create an Energy Shield to protect himself.
Along the way they meet four demons named Kougaji, Lirin, Dokugakuji and Yaone who usually fight with them.Kougaji is able to summon Evil, Lirin is well..good at martial arts and stuff, Dokugakuji has a demon sword and Yaone has a staff-like-halberd.
Saiyuki Reload is one of the best anime ever made and i hope a new series is coming soon.
This review refers to my feelings towards Saiyuki Reload and it partially helps people who don't know what Saiyuki is about to get the idea of what it is about.
